Following President Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration on Friday, several angel moms approached CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta, one of whom he briefly interviewed. This short interview was the only air-time given to angel moms by the network since the beginning of the year.

A search on TV Eyes spanning from Jan. 1, 2019 to Feb. 15, 2019 of CNN using the search terms ‘Angel Mom’, ‘Angel’, ‘Killed by’, ‘Undocumented’, and ‘Illegal’ revealed that there were no angel mom appearances on the network until angel mom Sabine Durden’sinterview with Jim Acosta earlier today.

Despite CNN’s lack of angel moms coverage, after the interview with Durden, Acosta stated, “As we know, because we’ve covered this for so long and there are so many passions and emotions on all sides, these ladies feel very passionately and very strong because of the ordeal they went through…”

Other mainstream media outlets have also given little attention to the stories of angel moms. RNC media research data given to the Caller shows that MSNBC had not booked any angel mom appearances or interviews on their network from Jan. 1, 2019 to Jan. 13, 2019.

The Caller reached out to CNN to ask why it took an angel mom confronting Jim Acosta at an official White House event for them to give any air time to angel moms on the network, but they did not respond.
